The plan for this coming Thursday morning is to complete the maintenance weed of KP-17 picking up where we left off a couple of weeks ago – and depending on how many people turn up, to make a start in the adjacent KP-24.
We’ll set up camp near the noticeboard (red X) – but start where we left off and work westwards:
Should be plenty of parking adjacent the Bowls Club – as long as you miss the school rush. We’ll work 08:30 – 11:30 or any time between.
Last Working Bee
Last week, we did a great job weeding between the path and the creek north in Furness Park alongside the track from Main Street to Gardenia Street at the Main Street end.
Once again we enjoyed some excellent catering from our friends/park neighbours/colleague – Julie and Peter. Many thanks to them both.
